DTM Extends Contract With Motorsport Arena Oschersleben For Three Years Through '16

German Touring Car Championship (DTM) commercial rights holder ITR "has extended its contract with the operators of the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben," according to Dominik Sharaf of MOTORSPORT TOTAL. The two parties "signed a new three-year contract and will continue their cooperation until at least '16." ITR Chair Hans Werner Aufrecht said, "Oschersleben has been since the beginning of the 'new' DTM in 2000 a fixture on our calendar. ... Therefore it is only logical that we have extended the contract through 2016." This season, the racecourse "will host the DTM teams and drivers from May 16-18" for the season's second race (MOTORSPORT TOTAL, 3/21).
